    Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked

    I could only assume this could be "revenge" someone has taken against them for suing Palworld...

    Emulating games going forward a thing of the past?

    I mean there's no point in preserving games if you can't play them. Video game consoles unfortunately don't last forever, and emulation allows these games to be played on newer hardware long after the original system fails. So it's less about preserving software and more about preserving...

    Emulating games going forward a thing of the past?

    Sega Saturn I would say is mature, the Beetle Saturn core is pretty stable and is optimized for even decently-powered PCs. Heck even the Raspberry Pi 5 can run it at full speed. YabaSanshiro is basically obsolete except for devices that aren't powerful enough for Beetle Saturn. OG Xbox I would...

    Emulating games going forward a thing of the past?

    I think emulation will die on the same day as the heat death of the universe. That is, it's not going away. It's true that Switch emulators are under legal scrutiny right now but that is because the Switch 2 will be released soon, and will very likely be backwards compatible with the first...

    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    Hypothetically, Nintendo could sue Robot Chicken because they have Mario characters in some episodes. That would likely be the moment their litigiousness and legal bullying enters the public consciousness and this starts to affect Nintendo's bottom line. This actually came back to bite Disney...

    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    The official re-release of Aero the Acro Bat on consoles uses the Ares emulator to play the SNES version of the game, and it even got published on the Switch. Go figure. 1727820822 Ever heard of the Streisand Effect?

    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    Not so sure about that. Tik Tok is going to be banned in the US soon and that might give the US government more incentive to block websites by foreign adversaries. I hope I'm wrong though

    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    The dev was based in Brazil so it might have been hard for them to bring a case there

    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    I switched to Bazzite/Linux since my gaming PC from 2017 can't upgrade to Windows 11 😢

    Ryujinx emulator taken down after devs reach agreement with Nintendo

    Probably not in a few years since the Switch 2 is likely to be BC, but I'm sure they will eventually

    Palworld developer responds to Nintendo's lawsuit, claims they don't know which patents are being infringed upon

    We all know damn well the Big N is gonna win this. They're suing in Japan which has no fair use laws, unlike the rest of the world. Plus, Nintendo doesn't usually sue unless they know they have a case. If I were the Palworld developers I would be terrified, especially since they don't know which...

    Cemu gets its first unofficial beta Android port

    Tbh I'd rather just get a Steam Deck or other handheld PC, I wouldn't want to risk damaging the Switch's CPU from overclocking. I believe the Switch uses the Tegra CPU which is in the Nvidia shield, which uses higher clock speeds. But I don't want to take any chances. 1725923731 I'm waiting for...

    Cemu gets its first unofficial beta Android port

    I agree, I think Xemu will be first because it already has native ARM support.

    Dolphin Emulator appears to be getting official Linux Flatpak releases

    Guys can we not with the "in before DMCA" posts? It undermines the good work people have put into these projects to make them possible. Plus, why would Nintendo DMCA a way of installing an emulator if they haven't DMCAed the emulator itself? Sounds strange to me

    Dolphin Emulator appears to be getting official Linux Flatpak releases

    I remember the Dolphin Team consulted with a lawyer who said they don't need to worry about any legal danger because of 17 U.S.C. § 1201(f)(2), which states: "...a person may develop and employ technological means to circumvent a technological measure, or to circumvent protection afforded by a...

    Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy is a new RCE exploit that can hack several consoles, including the Xbox 360

    There was pretty much no way to softmod an Xbox 360 until now. Microsoft basically designed the console in such a way that it is impossible to run unsigned code. To mod a 360 you would have to open up the console and solder in a modchip or wires to boot into a custom environment. Not everyone...

    Nintendo takes down Yuzu-based emulators including Suyu, Sudachi, Torzu, Uzuy and Nuzu

    From what I've heard, Nintendo's main argument against Yuzu forks is that they require encryption keys to play Switch games, and Nintendo claims that requiring these keys violates the DMCA. I find it hard to believe that every single emulator is in danger because of what one emulator does...

    Nintendo takes down Yuzu-based emulators including Suyu, Sudachi, Torzu, Uzuy and Nuzu

    This was pretty much expected to happen (and has been happening for a while now). I mean, if I were an emulator developer I wouldn't work on an emulator for a current-gen console. It just sounds too risky for me. I would at least wait until the Switch is no longer supported (and the Switch...

    Dolphin Releases Announcement

    Only the roms were taken down not the emulators. Nintendo has never gone after an emulator for a console that isn't currently supported. They tried to go after Dolphin but only after they announced it was coming to Steam. Once Steam canceled the release the whole matter came to an end.
